Acrobat 8.1.2 crashes when Document Header & Footer Add .. is invoked

I'm running Acrobat 8.1.2 PPC on a PowerBook G4/1.67 Ghz running Leopard 10.5.4. I haven't used the page numbering function in quite a while, since before I upgraded to Leopard. Today I assembled a course packet of 150+ pages from 50 or so individual pdf documents. All was fine until I wanted to put a page number in the footer by invoking Document > Header & Footer > Add.... It either crashes Acrobat after putting a spinning system cursor (more frequently) or simply does nothing. I've tried "Examine" to remove things, but it doesn't help (and it removes bookmarks even when you tell it not to!). Running the PDF Optimizer on this document crashes Acrobat as well!
Invoking Document > Header & Footer > Add.... on other documents does work. Let me stress that this composite document was created by Acrobat itself! The workaround I found was to open the document in Preview, do Print > Save as pdf, and *then* invoke Document > Header & Footer > Add....
Has anyone else seen these problems? Are these remaining incompatibilities with Leopard? Advanced > Document Processing > Number Pages doesn't seem to add page numbers!

I don't think it makes a difference. An Adobe engineer has confirmed that this doc has revealed a bug in both Acrobat Pro 8 and 9.

  • Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document wiht linked Visio file.

    Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document with linked Visio file and causes a C++ runtime error in Word and crashes Word.
    To see the behavior create a short Word 2007 document with a linked Visio file (e.g., create a Visio file with one box and text and insert it as a link into a Word docx).
    No problem in Acrobat 9

    There may be some of an issue with AA X on this, but part of the blame probably goes to MS also. I would suggest you simply clip the graphic from VISIO as a vector graphic (EMF will be used by default) and not do the link and do not embed the VISIO object. The linking and use of embedded objects in WORD 2007 seems to have been a major problem and is mostly a MS issue.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.x crashes when adding large format jpegs

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.x and when I attempt to add a large scale jpg to a pdf, the program crashes.  Is there a limit to the photo size dimensions?  My smaller format photos (8.5 x 11) add just fine to the pdf, but when I attempt to add my larger (35" x 50") photos, the program crashes.

    I recently ran into this with a bitmap in a 265 page document. I copied the bitmap to IrfanView and then back (I think that was the step -- I am already forgetting) and the copied it back. The problem went away. My student may look a bit more at the file -- I asked so I could give a more definitive comment here.
    The result I had suggests that it is a problem in WORD or the bitmap that WORD was using. Why WORD can deal with it and not Acrobat, I am not sure. However, when printing to the Adobe PDF printer there was not a problem, just with PDF Maker.

  • Acrobat 9.0 Pro crashes when trying to edit fields

    Acrobat 9.0 Professional crashes when I try to edit or add text fields. I am running Windows Vista. All other functions of Acrobat work.

    There was an update this last week, taking the current version to 9.3.2. The early versions often have little bugs like you describe, so an update is the first thing to try. If you download the updates from Adobe.com (the downloads>updates page), be sure to download all of them and then install them in order. If you use the updates under help, you can usually update the lowest number one they show and return for any further updates.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

    Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

    Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
    It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died.  Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again.  Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes.  I send the error report every time.

  • PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog

    PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog to those that already exist. No programs are running that might conflict with Organizer, and I can run other functions such as downloading photos from my camera. As soon as I attempt to add a new sub-catalog to an existing major catalog, the program crashes. I'm using Windows 7, and have tried various compatibilities, but none solves the problem. Any ideas?

    How do you attempt to 'add a new catalog' or a new 'sub-catalog' ?
    There are no such things as 'sub-catalogs' or catalogs included in catalog.
    Catalogs are totally independent storing systems, they ignore what is managed in other catalogs.That's why it is recommended to have only one catalog, unless you have a good reason to create several ones because they are totally independent by nature (home vs professional for instance).
    You can create several levels of albums, of tags categories, but not with catalogs.

  • PE7 crashes when I try to add a title...?

    I bought PE7 a couple of weeks ago it's been a great piece of software, my measly 2.26ghz processor and 480mb of RAM handled it just fine and I was really enjoying liking the software.
    So it came as a shock to me when one day whilst I was trying to add a title to my video, I was greeted not by a wonderoos selection of fonts but by a message apologizing for 'the inconvenience', the computer I was using did not have access to the internet and so I was unable to send the error report Windows had so kindly compiled for me, PE7 then decided to close...
    "Well, never mind" I thought "I've only lost a few minutes work" So I tried again (to add the title), but the same thing happened, and again, and again e.c.t
    The program only crashes when I try to add a title I cannot get it to do so any other way and everything else works fine. Any help would be appreciated.
    I have a sucspision that one of the fonts may be corrupt, so if anyone knows the name of the folder they are stored in that would be helpful.
    Thanks,

    I have a sucspision that one of the fonts may be corrupt, so if anyone knows the name of the folder they are stored in that would be helpful.
    You stole some of my "thunder." Titler in PrE and in PrPro is very, very sensitive to fonts and problems. Fonts that PS, AI, InDesign and ohters will work with fine, will bring Titler to its knees. These can be corrupt fonts, badly formed fonts and even certain fonts. This also happens before Titler ever gets open. It occurs when it surveys the installed fonts on the system.
    Now, and this might depend a bit on your exact OS, your installed fonts are stored in C:\Windows\Fonts.
    I use a utility, Extensis FontDoctor to survey, repair and/or replace any bad fonts. A freeware program, FontFrenzy, (you do need to register, but it's still free) will do this too. It's so very much quicker, than the manual way of finding bad fonts.
    One thing that I like about Font Doctor is that it can survey my entire system. On my workstation, I have over 12,000 fonts, though usually no more than ~200 loaded at any one time. Still, if I do install any, I do not want them to break Titler either. I use the Extensis Suitcase to manage/dynamically install these other fonts, as is needed for Projects.
    Be aware that there are some fonts, that just kill Titler, regardless of what Font Doctor, or FontFrenzy say about them. One is Deja Vu, which is installed when one gets SunMicro System's Open Office. Something is wrong with that font, but it's not corrupt - it just flat kills Titler. I do not have an entire list of these rogue fonts, but would also suspect that some of the older Corel fonts might do the same. My recent Corel WordPerfect fonts do not seem to have any issues and I use several of these.
    Try FontFrenzy, and see if it finds any corrupt fonts.
    Good luck,

  • Acrobat X Pro crashes when document closed if launched from COM API

    Environment: Windows 7
    Acrobat X Pro
    I'm seeing some unusual behaviour when running the following code which simply launches the Acrobat Application and opens up a document with Acrobat X Pro.  Closing the document causes the program to become unresponsive and then crash.  The crash dump shows the exception as "The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access".
    I've discounted a problem with the plugin I wrote since the program also crashes without the plugin loaded. 
    Same code runs fine with Acrobat 9 using the version 9 acrobat.tlb.
    Can anyone help or advise?
    With thanks,

  • Acrobat Pro XI frequent crashes when using New Window feature

    As a lawyer using Acrobat Pro XI to review legal documents, I find the New Window feature invaluable since it lets me view different parts of the same document at the same time.  However, when I use this feature I encounter frequent crashes, more often if I insert a comment in one of the windows.  Inserting those comments are very important to me.  Is there any way to avoid the crashes while using the New Window and Comment features together?

  • Acrobat 9.3.4 crashes when editing bookmarks

    Working in Acrobat Pro 9.3.4 on a Mac, system 10.6.4. Have been combining pdf files using the "Combine Files" feature in Acrobat. I need to edit bookmarks (assign & remove), as well as crop and delete some pages in the files I'm working on. The program continually crashes when I delete bookmarks, and occasionally when I add them. I have to try up to 4 or 5 times before I can successfully delete the bookmarks I need to and move on. It will eventually work, but takes a lot more effort than it should. I'm not sure if I should toss some preferences, or even which ones to toss, or if there are any other helpful options out there for me. Thoughts?

    Mine is doing the same.  Ever since the 9.3.4 update my Mac Adobe Acrobat Pro will crash (beachball) whenever editing, such as adding bookmarks, or scrolling down the pages of file.  Have tried multiple times to contact Adobe, but with no luck, and no call back or response.  Considering moving to a different PDF platform if I cannot obtain technical help through Adobe.

    Hi Grace,
    Please let me know what OS are you using?
    Does Acrobat crash when you open any particular pdf or any pdf?
    What version of Acrobat are you using? Have you updated it to the latest patch.
    Was it working fine for you before?
    Please check the performance after disabling any antivirus or anti-malware software you might have and check.
